Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044 The Hiding Family

Suddenly, Chris roared, "I warn you, don't lay a hand on me in the future, or else I won't be so kind! Also, stop bothering Esther!"

"Esther is my wife, when you bother her, you're bothering me! Even if you're my mother-in-law, I won't show you any mercy!"

At that moment, Chris was genuinely furious. He had tolerated Susan's provocations time and time again. Yet, Susan remained oblivious, repeatedly testing his patience. Did she truly think he wouldn't do anything to her?

"You, you... how dare you speak to me like this?" Susan stared at Chris, dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Chris to threaten her.

At that moment, Susan suddenly felt that Chris had become incredibly terrifying, as if he could swallow her at any moment. But the idea of easily succumbing to him was nothing but a dream! She believed she had one last ace to deal with Chris!

Turning to Esther with a pitiful look, Susan said, "Esther, look at this. Is this the husband you've married? He dares to threaten me. You have to stand up for me!"

Esther gave Susan a disgusted look. Having endured Susan's unreasonable behavior time and time again, she had had enough. Seeing Susan feigning helplessness made Esther feel sick. What use was there in keeping such a mother? She decided she wouldn't indulge Susan anymore. The more lenient she was, the more harm it caused.

With a stern expression, Esther said, "Mom, Chris did nothing wrong. You've gone too far."

"What? You..." Susan looked at Esther, bewildered. She could hardly believe her daughter had spoken those words. Her own daughter was siding with Chris, calling her out for going too far?

"Oh my, why is this happening to me? I've given birth to a daughter who sides with others to bully me!" Susan wailed and collapsed to the ground. But this time, facing Susan's traditional drama of crying, causing a scene, and threatening to harm herself, Esther remained resolute.

In the past, Susan had used this method to force Esther to back down, but this time, Susan had clearly misjudged. Esther knew that if she allowed Susan to continue, the entire Chester Group, the entire Jefferson family, would be in trouble.

"Husband, let's go," Esther said, ignoring Susan and taking Chris's hand to leave.

As Esther disregarded Susan, Chris paid even less attention to her. Seeing Chris and Esther leaving, Susan was dumbfounded. Previously, her tactics against Esther had always been effective. Why had they failed this time?

Meanwhile, in a very secluded location, there lay an ancient and quaint manor. The surroundings were exceptionally tranquil, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
